My cart died at "50%" while going to the store. That's on me, since I wasn't monitoring the voltage. Voltage was...let's just say low. The tech at ECO (Noah) said they are working on a new SOC meter that will have a more reliable % calibration. He was also concerned with my range (13 miles when it died). We are going to monitor that with a couple more charges. He said I should be doing better than 20 miles...even with my mods. Felt I might need another battery if it doesn't improve. This was all on my phone on the side of the road on a text chat. Instantly got back to me and we were troubleshooting withing a few minutes after contact.
Needless to say, ECO has shown excellent customer support from my experience so far. I'm glad I made the purchase. They seem to be a company that will stand behind their products. It's nice to see them joining the forum.

I purchased the 72Ah kit based on things I learned here. The installation is complete and I couldn't be happier.
I have had great communication from them, especially Andre who has answered questions from me twice on two different Sunday evenings. I don't think those people ever sleep!
After reading your post here, I decided to leave my original voltage meter connected also. This way I can watch the voltage constantly with a well lit readout. Then I leave the SOC meter on percentage. So far the number have all matched according to my SOC chart in this thread:
